In version 5.1.2 of the official app, Twitter users can view picture and video previews directly in their timelines, instead of having to click a link to be taken to the preview as in past version of the app.
In addition to the image and video previews, Twitter has also made it easier to interact in conversations by adding action buttons, such as reply and retweet directly in the timeline.
